Connick wrote the score for 2001's THOU SHALT NOT, but did not act in the show; the performances included here are not taken from the original-cast recording, but rather are Connick's own versions of the songs, performed with a small jazz combo featuring saxophonist Branford Marsalis. The second disc is the original cast recording of the 2006 revival of THE PAJAMA GAME starring Connick himself, and featuring standards like "Hey There" and "Hernando's Hideaway."
Harry Connick, Jr. is an accomplished singer, pianist, and actor who emerged in the late 1980s as a Sinatra-style crooner for a new generation. As a musician, his influences include bebop, New Orleans jazz, and big-band swing. His score for the film WHEN HARRY MET SALLY brought him national acclaim and an Oscar. He subsequently appeared in a number of films, and made forays into pop music.
